摘要：

Twenty-four Vi antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies were produced in this study. The MAbs were found to be highly specific to Vi possessing bacteria. Selected MAbs were used in a direct agglutination assay for rapid identification of S. typhi in primary bacterial culture and also used to develop an assay to detect Vi antigen in clinical specimens. The result showed that they could not detect the antigen in urine and serum from acute patients even they could detect as low as 0.02 mug/ml of Vi antigen added in normal urine. The study has shown that these MAbs are very useful for rapid identification of S.typhi in primary bacterial culture and they can replace polyclonal anti-Vi antibodies which have been used routinely in bacteriological laboratories.
